Classical Music, Poetry and stuff

[Prospero]

And today I'm posting a song by the late great Bert Jansch and a track by Donovan recorded some 40 years ago which was a sort of tribute to Jansch.

As I read posts on other sections of this forum I'd like someone explain something to me. What the hell is a topic about classical music, poetry doing on this type of forum?

Yvonne -to prove that even people who lust after transexuals and want to discuss who, when, where, how much, at what time, in what position, wearing what?, how old?, with or without, high or low, black or white, Hispanic or Asian?, large or small?

are also interested in the fall-out from Heidegger's capitulation and moral collapse...the violin..the orchestra...la voix humaine...Ibsen or O'Neill? (Ibsen), themes and symbols in Moby-Dick...aka The Brains Trust.

Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome...

And indeed if you find this strand odd on this forum what about all the political arguments? The sports strand? What about the what are you listening to now strand? And the what films have you seen? etc etc. Sure this forum could just be about transexuals and sex and hookers and the like. But everyone - and not least you Yvonne - re interested in millions of other things. So why not. There is room for it all.

I agree, I am not saying that this topic shouldn't talked about. I just find the dual nature of posts in other sections and these cultural posts kinda bizarre.

I mean, posts about how big is this guys dick included with posts about Mozart, ya gotta admit, it is kinda strange.

As the guy who started the thread in the first place, I threw it out there to find out if there were other people on here who had a cultural hinterland that went further back than hiphop and Hollywood blockbusters. Thankfully it took, and I've learned and experimented with music and literature that was new to me as a result, although I draw the line at Stavros' championing Bela Tarr's seven-hour Hungarian epic about farming lol.

I don't know what other regular contributors feel, but for me it's also become something of a refuge in those increasingly frequent times when the noise and hate elsewhere on the forum gets a bit too much to bear.

I'd also recommend Richard Burton reading Under Milkwood by Dylan Thomas.

I love it!
